Happy Thanksgiving.

Here's a list of things I was thankful for over the Thanksgiving break

• The so-called Blizzard warning that got school canceled
• Elf Yourself
• Siblings
• Being so close to family that we can eat Thanksgiving together
• My sweet grandparents who are perfect for each other
• New little cousins
• ...and old cousins
• Thanksgiving Dinner
• Thanksgiving leftover sandwiches (YUM! I want one now.)
• Pecan pie
• The Apple store
• Seeing old friends
• A car that drives safely in the snow
• Playmill's "White Christmas"
• Warm boots
• Take-out
• The new Taylor swift CD
• The ability to read

And that was just over the break. I am thankful for so many things in my life. Making a list would probably take hours. 

While I was in Salt Lake this week, I saw a book that my sister had called "14,000 things to be happy about". The author had started writing little specific things that made her happy in a notebook starting in 6th grade and continued to do it for a long time I am guessing... 14,000 is a lot! It made me start to think more about things that made me happy everyday.

 Little things and Big things. 

I wish I didn't take things for granted but I do. Every day. Little luxuries like having a warm blanket (or in my case, a Snuggie) next to my bed that I can grab when I get cold. So from now on every time I notice something that makes my day a little bit brighter I am going to write it down and on Sunday I'll make a list of 5 things that made me happy that week.

Sound good?
